Featured Guest Chef: Jubilee Bean Turkey Chili

Jake Ingle knows it takes a team to create a successful snowboard half-pipe and it helps when a member of that team knows how to warm everyone up with something hot and delicious at the end of a day. Bill Van Gilder is an FIS technical delegate at half-pipe Grand Prix events. His family owns a restaurant in the Pocono Mountains—Van Gilder’s Jubilee Restaurant. So, when Bill is cooking up something—everyone knows it’s a meal that is not to be missed.
